5. An electric dipole consist of two opposite charges each of magnitude 1.0 PC separated by distance 2.0 cm. The dipole is placed in an external uniform field of 1.0 x 10 N/C. What maximum torque does the field exert on the dipole? If the dipole moment is initially parallel to the field, what is the work done in turning it through 90°?

Answer:
An electric dipole consist at two opposite charge each of magnitude =1μC=1×10

distance =2cm
Exter field =10

maximum torque on the dipole =?
q=1×10

C,2a=2cm
or, =0.02cm
∴ P=q×2a
